I am bit crazy about being crazy--not that I have any choice in the matter. So why not put my 15 year experience with bipolar disorder to good use? I believe that dismantling the stigma of mental illness starts with opening up a dialogue to help break down the walls of isolation. Since this is a blog, please feel free to share your thoughts on this hush, hush taboo topic.

Aristotle once said...
"No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness." If this is so, am I to consider myself an excellent soul??? Way cool--ego boost. If I accept this logic, should I then view those lacking in madness as less than excellent souls???
Madness and genius seem always to go hand in glove. Can you think of one really seriously balanced, happy BRILLIANT author/painter etc?
